RFQ issued for UO's East Campus Residence Hall

The University of Oregon has issued a request for qualification for architectural services related to the university's proposed East Campus Residence Hall Project.

The university currently envisions the project as a 400-500 room, multi-level housing facility with common areas and shared space. The site for this facility is the area to the east of the Museum of Natural and Cultural History bordered by East 15th and 17th Avenues and Columbia and Moss Streets.

According to the University, as part of the services for the Project, the selected firm will be required to prepare a comprehensive State Energy Efficiency Design Analysis of the Project.

Additionally, respondents to the RFQ must meet four qualifications:

1) Have experience designing buildings, systems or spaces that are likely to be found in this project.

2) Have experience designing landscapes that create a comprehensive campus setting, while actively using exterior spaces.

3) Have experience with the State of Oregon Energy-Efficient Design program, with LEED certifiable buildings, and with the UO Sustainable Development Plan.
